EAPS IAP Lecture Series 2016: Life in the Ocean
"The Role of Science and Technology in the Conservation of North Atlantic Right Whales"
Speaker: Dr. Mark Baumgartner, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
Why do microscopic plants in the sunlit surface ocean eat one another? How can we preserve the natural whale population? What lives at sea-floor hydrothermal vents, and how? Scientists from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution reveal the extreme diversity of living organisms in the ocean. We will discuss recent advances in marine biology and ecology using modern tools from gene sequencing to the latest in underwater vehicles. Lectures take place in MIT Building 54 room 915, noon-1 pm unless otherwise noted.
